Pre-trial summons

What might happen if a person does not go to a pre-trial summons for a debt? Papers were given but no identification was requested and nothing was signed at that time.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

If you fail to appear, a default will be entered and then a default final judgment against you. It is in your best interests to appear. This is your only opportunity to try and negotiate a more favorable settlement.
